United and Chase Raise Welcome Bonuses on Credit Cards, Some Offers Reach 100,000 Miles
Chase and United have increased sign-up bonuses on their personal United cards, while some current cardholders are getting targeted offers for extra miles.
United and Chase have raised the starting bonuses on all four of their personal United credit cards. According to View from the Wing, the top offers now reach 100,000 miles. Thrifty Traveler also reported limited-time offers of up to 100,000 miles across the United card lineup.
Some people who already hold a United credit card may get a different deal. According to Upgraded Points, United is sending emails to certain cardholders about a chance to earn as many as 15,000 extra miles when they make purchases. The notes give two end dates for this offer, December 31 and December 15, 2026, so the exact deadline is unclear.

Frequent Miler reported that Chase is sending spending offers to some Marriott cardholders. Doctor of Credit said a number of PayPal cardholders are getting an offer of a $125 reward if they spend at least $2,500 before October 31, 2026.
What it means for travelers
Bonus miles can lower the cost of future flights for people who already plan to use United. Because many offers are targeted and have different end dates, what one traveler sees may not match what another sees.
What to watch next
Check the card issuer's official site or your email for the exact terms, bonus amounts and deadlines before applying or spending. Confirm all details with United or Chase directly.
